And the world is watching as Christian miracle worker Jeremy Lin has come from nowhere to electrify the New York Knickerbockers, a replay of sorts of another young player he much admires, Denver quarterback Tim Tebow.

And, of course, there was another boy scout beating another playboy in one of the most watched events in world history, Super Bowl 46.

Yes, playboys and playgirls make the world more interesting.

But it’s the scouts who keep it running.

“I don’t think that any professional athlete or actor or actress, really signs up to be a role model,” said Kim Menges. “But ultimately they are. So it’s really nice to have these people in the spotlight who are good people and can show our children you don’t need to have a lot of flash to win.”

“Look, good guys can finish first,” said Bill Eubank as he left the W. Broad Street Barnes & Noble. “You can make it with honesty and integrity.”

So, does all this mean the world is coming to an end soon, as predicted?

Nope, it’s a safe bet the usual freak show will resume shortly.

But not yet. Tuesday night I’ll bring you the story of a young woman here who wants to live a no-holds barred life that inspires others.

She’s a good girl who’s definitely not finishing last, like rest of these refreshingly healthy people.
